POWER ENTRY BOX ASSEMBLY -- M1068A3 ONLY
WARNING
When using external power, ensure proper grounding procedures are followed. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. See TM 11-7010-256-12&P for
installing surface wire grounding system.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment.
DEATH ON CONTACT may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
NEVER work on equipment unless at least one other person familiar with the operation and
hazards of the equipment is nearby. That person should also be competent in giving first aid.
When an operator helps a technician, that operator must be warned about dangerous areas.
SHUT OFF POWER supply to equipment before beginning work. When working inside
equipment with power off, take special care to ground every capacitor likely to hold a
dangerous potential.
BE CAREFUL not to contact high-voltage connections when installing or operating this
equipment.
KEEP one hand away from the equipment to reduce the hazard of current flowing through
life-sustaining organs of the body.
The power entry box assembly, located at the upper rear roadside exterior corner of the carrier, along with cable W1 (external
power input pigtail), and cable W2 (external AC power cable), provides the ability to receive or supply AC power. A
workstation can be powered by using the on-board generator, external power source, or the carrier's charging system.
The assembly has connections for AC power out and external power in. By connecting either cable W1 or W2 to the assembly
connections, the carrier can act as an alternate power source or receive power from some other alternate power source.
Cable W1 and W2 are located just behind the generator on top of the carrier. Cable W2 has connectors on both ends which
allow it to be connected between other systems. Cable W1 has a connector on one end and pigtails (loose wires) on the other
end. This allows connection to power sources other than a common system. Cables W1 and W2 can also be connected
in series when additional length is required.
